Pastries in Amsterdam

What beautiful pastries they have here! We cannot decide which one is our favorite.

Ham and cheese...(croissant kaas, paid for in Euros, please!). I'll have another.

We've just arrived in Amsterdam, the mid-way mark of the trip. With 8 (eight) more hours to go, we have a three-hour layover and have made ourselves at home in the airport for a bit.

We have determined after not much discussion and limited viewing of the landscape as we arrived, that Holland is FLAT! Did you know that part of the land used to be the ocean?

So you know what Holland (the Netherlands) is famous for? Here's a hint: http://www.myphotographs.net/holland/holland10.html

Our route took us over the southern tips of Greenland and Iceland, over the North Sea and down through the most beautiful clouds! We flew into the night, and as we arrived we saw the European sunrise--reds, yellows, bright pinks and oranges. It is morning here.

Onward to our final destination! Thanks for following along. We will try to write again when we arrive.
